vista + eset's ss = BSOD's

i am having major problems. i have a brand-spankin-new vista install on my pc. trying to install eset's smart security (which clearly states xp/vista capable) and i get a blue screen of death and a memory dump. only restoring computer in safe mode helps - otherwise it doesn't load, just reloads into the BSOD and crashes again. i didnt catch what it reads but vista said

Hi guys, in the past I've had these quite frequently with friends, it always seems to point to the network card drivers being out of date, wireless or wired. Try updating them. In my case I just googled the full name of my Realtek card and got a driver download from a mirror site. (Realtek's website is disgustingly non-user friendly)

ok this is the situation! vista = $^%#! - i got a PCI network card (pretty old and disabled) and a USB WLAN something card (newer and drivers installed) but! although i bought it with the vista computer it now says that it is NOT vista compatible! what the $@@#!? plz help as leaving my computer without a firewall is awful and i will not do it! either that or i reinstall xp.

God I'm sooo sick of people bitching about Vista. I use Vista as do millions of others who have no problems with it. If you don't want to use it then don't, no-one is forcing you. Why not try the driver update suggestion instead of just whinging about how "Vista is useless"?

stop telling me this and that is offtopic IF THIS IS ESET FORUM! my eset installation on my vista crashes into BSOD. that's what i need help with. since this IS the eset forum. also the smart security forum - plz help - or dont and dont post. but dont tell me to go to hell! the exact same smart security worked on same computer (same exact setup) when it had xp!!! if you don't have anything to say - im returning to xp as right now i've got NOTHING to lose! not a single program, picture, document, or music file.

well today vista finally "found" that it needed sp1. (for some reason yesterday it couldn't find that it needed the upgrade) updated. installed eset. no BSODs so far. we'll see...............................
